Patch 7.3 introduces updated animations for casters! While not all are complete, today we are previewing the updated Arcane, Fire, Frost Mage animations. We've used Inky Black Potion to make the effects pop more, and the Darkmoon Faire is in town if you'd like to acquire your own potion!

With Patch 7.1.5 just released, we're having Wowhead Mage Guide writer Malon analyze all of the Arcane, Fire, and Frost changes in the patch. Check out his updated Arcane, Fire, and Frost guides on Wowhead!

There's a beta patch today for MIsts of Pandaria, but it's a small patch so we're going to post our mage class preview as well!

Hit the break to see the spell differences, and read today's class preview first! For today's class preview, we'll look at Mages. Each of the three iconic playstyles has undergone changes, opening up signature abilities to all specs. There's also a bunch of quirky minor glyphs, including one that summons elemental pets.
